Hi all,

I have a 2007 335i which has suddenly thrown a light or two on my dash.

I fitted new discs, pads and sensors all round less than 500 miles ago.
My rear pad sensor fell out of its routing clips a week ago and wore away on the drive shaft I beleive l, which tripped the yellow warning. I just cut the wire and connected both together to disable warning, as I'm always checking my car so it's not a must to have these sensors.

So today I was driving with the traction control in DTC mode, half on I suppose.
I haven't used this in a long time but everything was going fine until I switched my car off and restarted.

So I got home turned off, went inside and came immediately back out and restarted and pressed DTC button. I turned off engine again immediately afterwards as I forgot somthing lol.

So when I restarted this time, the dash started alarming and I had the yellow brake warning and the traction control warning(no ABS warning). These both came up in the check control when using BC aswell as the lights on dash.
I turned off again and restarted and again the same thing.
I had to be somewhere so I carefully drove for 5 mins and turned off again leaving for twenty mins or so. In the period obviously traction control wasn't working, cruise control not responding also..

This time when I restarted the car the warnings mentioned above were gone, however I now have the red Brake Warning light and red service warning

I drove straight home and plugged her in using INPA and all I could find were two codes for brake pad sensors. Front and rear.
So I thought I would clear the errors, however when I pressed clear, the traction control light and ABS light flickered on dash. However a reread showed no errors.
Upon starting up again, I immediately got the red Brake light and red service warning.
Again I read the codes and got the brake pad sensors. When a cleared the codes I got the same as previous flicker on dash.

Has anyone experienced similar to this? Could it just be a little hicup for the ecu?
I will try changing the brake pad sensors, or just use my old ones with wires twisted together again to see if this removes the errors. I just though if the sensors triggered I would be on yellow warning as I did for the rear a week or so ago. Or is it because it's both it has gone straight to red?
Has got me a little rattled tbh as I just thought I was in the clear on all my basic maintenance and wouldn't have to spend for a while lol.

Thanks to all for taking the time to read and even more so those who can give me some insight.

And this effects your stereo and Bluetooth How?
You need to move this to the general section.
